i say ff6 (ff3us) i like the idea that there was not a central character and everyone in the party had a backstory and as you play throught ff6 you found out why they joined you in the quest, also i liked how in the middle of the game you party got broken up and you had to find them all over again. Also i thought the characters where cool celes the magic knight, terra the half human/esper, setzer the airship pilot/gambler, edgar and sabin twin brothers that where aired to the figaro kingdom and shadow the ninja ....there are alot more of characters but i dont want to waste time. also the end boss is 4 screens tall pretty cool for the snes at that time.
